Markdowns Build Savings and Pay Off Debt

Every time I get something from the supermarket that has been marked down, like bread, rolls, meat, milk, etc, I always put the difference between the normal price and the marked down price in a separate jar, and put that money into a savings account or towards my credit card debt.

That's actually a really good idea. I might only be saving an extra $6 a week but it always gets spent on something else as it's extra money. Like my partner will say well we still have $ x left over let's do this activity.

This is my record of the daily challenges the Armstrong family faces as we live life the Cheapskates way - debt free, cashed up and laughing - and try to stay that way.

Here I talk about the little things I do that save us a lot of money and the bigger things that may only save a small amount. I share the things that work for us and the things that don't. I say it as I see it, so if I try something and think it's a dud, I'll tell you. And if I try something and it works, I'll share it with you.

You'll get an insight into a very frugal family living a very comfortable 21st Century lifestyle and I hope it encourages and inspires you as you make your journey to living life the Cheapskates way.
